Abstract
LAST autumn, when the public health of Europe was in an unsatisfactory condition, it was thought that it would be wise to postpone the Medical Congress until this spring, though it was feared by everyone that such a determination would be fatal to the efforts of the Congress. The votes of the majority and of the most influential members of the Executive Committee, however, impressed upon Prof. Baccelli the necessity of postponement. It was also thought that the visitors would prefer to enjoy the attractions of the city in the spring rather than in the autumn. No one in Rome expected such a numerous concourse of savants, doctors, and others, as assembled on this occasion. At such an extraordinary meeting we must not only consider the characteristic note of the congress and the certainty of its success, but also ascertain the causes of various inconveniences which members of the congress have had to submit to, and of which complaint has been made.
